DEAR CLASSMATES: 


This fourth annual class letter covers briefly the University’s history since 
May 15, 1911. The new Amasa Stone Memorial Chapel was first used for the 
Baccalaureate sermon June 11th, was dedicated. the 13th, and used for Com-. 
mencement on the 15th. College opened there in the fall and a vested choir of 
40 men is a feature of chapel service. The new hymn book used contains 
“Western Reserve” by R. P. Crum, music by organist Smith, and “Dear Old 
Reserve”. An “Undergraduate Day”, “Alumni Day”, and a’lawn-fete following 
the Freshmen’s winning the Hudson Relay were commendable additions to Com- 
mencement Week. An elaborate progtam is ready for June 8-13, this year; the 9th. 
the Baccalaureate, roth Hudson Relay, lawn-fete and sing-out, 11th Pan-Hellenic 
Party, 12th class reunions, 13th University Commencement, Alumni Luncheon 
-and special evening festivities. 





Reserve has 1331 students, Adelbert 393. The Law School is now P. C 
“he Medical School announced $1,000,000 additional endowment Jan. 1, ‘12. 





F-om Pharmacy Dean Arny has gone to Columbia; Prof. Dubois of Case AS ee 
_ sugceeds him. Noted speakers have included John Barrett, Hamilton Holt, — 
ae Prof. Minsterberg, and Count Luetzow of Bohemia. | 


With sincere regret the University announced the resignation of Hollinger 
at the Y. M. C. A. who will prepare for service in India. Wm. Caldwell, Kan- 
sas ’II, succeeds him. The “Spa’, become restaurant, has given way to a 
full-fledged Adelbert Commons. The Civie Club has had even the Outlook’s | 
attention (before the campaign) and should become an influential factor in 
securing co-operation between Reserve and: Cleveland, the city. Senior gowns 
appeared April 22—to stay. The Junior-Sophomore oratorical contest will 
become an inter-class: debate. Signed pledges have abolished hazing. The 
Student Council regulates elections and the Annual—the Soph editor-elect 
assists the Junior Editor. . 


The University supper was an enthusiastic gathering of 700. Mayor Baker, 
Herbert Bigelow and W. G. Rose spoke. Cooperation with the city was em- 
phasized and the “Future” examined by President Thwing. (See Weekly, Janu- 
ary 23, 1912). “Stunt Night”, May 14, and “Campus Night”, May 24, were ny 
innoyations this year. ie il ; 


A Pan-Hellenic dinner was held April 24; rushing may begin June goth; a he 
fraternity scholarship cup has been proposed. 


Dr. A. I. Ludlow has gone to Seoul and Chai Ryung, Korea, as a medical 
missionary. Pres, Thwing has published “Letters from a Father to his Son 
Entering College’. He received a portrait of himself from the Trustees on 
the 20th aniversary of his inauguration. Their letter (Weekly, November 21, 
1911) reviews his. effective record. Prof. Herrick has published a_ classic 
“Natural History of the American Lobster” for the government. 


Harvey Snyder and “Toughey” Lind are our football coaches. Zen: Scott 
has gone to Case. Football resulted in 4 victories, 4 ties (State and Navy), 
3 defeats (Oberlin and Case,—9-5). Alumni football “R” men will get 1 seasen 





a 


pass, non-transferable, to all football games. Adelbert students are now lim- 
ited to 2 athletic sports a year. Inter-fraternity baseball occurs at 5:30 A: M.!!! 


The Weekly’s “Forum” and Japanese letters were good additions. “Old; 


Reserve Publications” were reviewed March’ 5-19, 1912; Rhodes Scholarship 
conditions October 31, 1911; Student Council constitution published September 
25, 1911. A “Pink Extra” recorded the Faculty. 12, Seniors 7.

_ Jackson has a little girl 114 years old; Martin two children; Tyler a 
7% months girl—greetings and best wishes to them all. 


The codperation of the members of the class in securing the above infor- 
mation has been especially appreciated. A few did not send any and errors 
may therefore be found. 


In the literature of the past year the college man, both undergraduate and 
recent graduate, has received much attention, serious and otherwise. Witness 
Owen Johnson’s “Tennessee Shad”, “Stover at Yale’, and C. S. Cooper’s “The 
American Undergraduate in the Century (January-May, 1912), and numerous 
others. Even non-educational circles discuss his efficiency, or lack of it. A 
certain University President has been reported as saying he is worth $7 a week 
on graduation. ‘This is interesting. 


The details of our own college careers are still in mind. With these and 
before they fade, and with the experience and observation of our few years 
since graduating, spent within and without professional schools and other uni- 
versities, as both students and teachers, can we, asa class, aid our Alma Mater 
in some definite way? Why not a class committee to suggest action in this regard 
at our 5th anniversary reunion in 1913? 


To Old Reserve our sincere good will; to each of you happiness and success. 
Cordially, 
JoHN Boynton KAISER, 
Sec’y W. R. U., ’08.
